Specialized economic monitoring bodies have strongly objected to a legislative proposal allowing public sector employees to take long-term leaves while receiving half of their basic salary. Experts warned that this proposal could turn into an open-ended financial drain burdening the general budget, especially given the notable rise in current spending rates. Specialists explained that paying salaries to employees who do not provide actual service to the state, while potentially working in the private sector simultaneously, represents an administrative and financial flaw. They emphasized the necessity of studying the economic cost of any new legislation to avoid exacerbating the inflation of the government payroll.
